You could spend the fall getting fat and the winter sleeping in a cave, but you'd miss out on all the creamy winter pow. Luckily, the 686 Mannual Iconic Insulated Men's Jacket packs 80g of insulation around your body and covers it with an InfiDry-8 waterproof membrane, keeping you warm as a hibernating bear without having to, you know, hibernate. We're also willing to bet that bears don't have taped critical seams, a chest vent that accesses inner pockets, or an adjustable elastic powder skirt. They pretty much only come in brown, too, and don't have a big, steezy 686 logo print splashed across the chest. Boring old bears.

how did the jacket fair getting wet, did...

Lachlan, The 686 Mannual Iconic Insulated Jacket has critically taped seams but not fully taped seams. While this jacket has InfiDry and is technically a waterproof shell, it will not be nearly so waterproof as other shells that rate between 10kmm and 20kmm. With enough moisture over a long day you will likely see somemoisture build up, but the InfiDry membrane will help the jacket dry out fast.

Great Jacket!

Ordered this for my teenage son, an avid snowboarder. The jacket looks great, gets many compliments. He reports that it is warm with just a thin layer underneath, and very comfortable. All the above specs apply. It doesn't have underarm vents but this doesn't seem to be a problem. Very pleased with the reasonable price and quick service from this company, and have recommended it to others.

Wearing it out

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

My brother got this jacket last year and all I've heard about it is how great it is. He's always in the park so it's not too heavy and he's still able to move and bend without getting caught or too warm.

Warmth with a side of style.

I've used it several times

I love the powder skirt feature on this jacket and the overall warmth. It makes it easy to later up or down - weather pending. That being said, the downfall to this jacket is that there are no pit zips and no wrist gaitors.
